Replace the legacy portal-driven VM labs with current Azure Confidential Computing samples for ACI and AKS.

- Rework Challenge 4 around side-by-side confidential and standard ACI runtime attestation.
- Rework Challenge 5 around the Azure Voting App and runtime attestation on an AMD SEV-SNP AKS node pool.
- Preserve pinned, unchanged upstream sample snapshots and document their source commits and localized MicroHack adaptations.
- Reuse attendee resource groups with deterministic naming, rerunnable deployment, and selective cleanup.
- Update challenge guidance, duration and cost notes, and remove superseded portal guides and screenshots.
- Include the Windows PowerShell-safe ConfigMap argument fix discovered during live Challenge 5 verification.

Validated both deployment workflows end to end, including ACI comparison, AKS confidential workload placement, MAA SEV-SNP claims, and cleanup.
Document the business and technical purpose of ACI CCE policy generation and Confidential VM Orchestrator. Simplify Challenge 4 reruns around explicit cleanup and remove cached images during cleanup.
Updated prerequisites and instructions for Challenge 4, including environment verification and deployment steps.
Updated prerequisites and troubleshooting sections for Azure Voting App automation deployment. Added details on PowerShell environment variables and potential errors during deployment.

Thanks Ye. This is a substantial and useful refresh of Challenges 4 and 5. In parallel, feature-adaptive-apps now contains the tested Hackathons Console automation, dynamic confidential SKU/region selection, LocalBox integration, and the new Challenge 7.

Could we retarget this PR to feature-adaptive-apps rather than merging it directly into main? Seven files overlap, and Challenge 5 currently creates and deletes its own AKS cluster, while the Console-provided cluster is shared between Challenges 5 and 7. We also need to align the hard-coded v5 and regional assumptions with the Console selection matrix.

I suggest integrating and testing the combined experience on feature-adaptive-apps, followed by one consolidated PR to main.

Jan Egil Ring (@janegilring) tell me what to do here - as far as i read we can close this and create another PR for feature-adaptive-app branch?
